Vol. 574 No. 5
170 Mr. Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Education and Science the situation with regard to the amalgamation of the three post-primary schools in Kildare town; if a site is to be acquired for the provision of a new community school; and the likely timescale for completion of the project. [27709/03]
My Department has agreed to the amalgamation of the three post-primary schools in Kildare town and to the purchase of a site to facilitate this development.
The timing of when individual projects, including site purchase, can progress will depend on the budgetary allocation for 2004 and subsequent years; the rate of progress of existing projects in architectural planning and the priority afforded to a project by reference to the published criteria for prioritising large scale projects.
